Lumens

by CJAfter finding an old box of photographic paper, I decided to make photographs without using a camera. Lumens have this ghostly feel of being the remains of what once was. My first lumens were experiments with organic elements and expressing the beauty in nature. I started with the exposed lumen and then hand painted some using gauche paints. Then I discovered if I scanned these and created duotones digitally, the intrinsic qualities of the plants emerged.Tags: lumen, plants, photograph, fine art photography
